Since the sky was covered, the heavens began to show their holiness

Looking at Hogg's crazy laughter, Lin Lei couldn't help but feel a little worried, but Zhou Xian understood Hogg's behavior. Hogg's current behavior was like a middle-aged man who had lost his wife in modern times. He had worked hard to raise several children. When the college entrance examination results came out, his children were admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University. It was no wonder that the usually conservative Hogg seemed so excited now.

Just like on Earth, Hogg was in a good mood and invited people from Wushan Town to a banquet that night. The buffet for several thousand people almost filled the street outside Baruch's mansion. Fortunately, although the Baruch family was in decline, they were at least still the lords of Wushan Town, and the money in stock could still support Hogg's extravagance.

The banquet lasted until late at night, and Hogg finally arrived at the clan hall, a little drunk, followed by Zhou Xian and Lin Lei.

In the light of candlelight, rows of spirit tablets of Baruch's ancestors were neatly arranged without a speck of dust, and it was obvious that someone came to clean them regularly.

Looking at the rows of ancestral tablets, Hogg seemed to be in a low mood, and introduced the history of the Baruch family to the two in a low voice.

"My Baruch family has a history of 5,000 years. Since the birth of the fifth dragonblood warrior, it has declined generation after generation. Even the heirloom of my Baruch family has been sold off... Every time I think of this, I feel extremely ashamed. We are a family of dragonblood warriors!"

After saying this, Hogg stared at Zhou Xian and Lin Lei and continued, “As a father, I am incompetent and cannot restore the glory of our family. Fortunately, you have been admitted to Ernst College. In the future, it will be up to you, Lin Lei, to restore the glory of the Baruch family.”

“Aatrox, you are not of the bloodline of my Baruch family. Your father does not ask for much. I just hope that if Lin Lei has any difficulties, you can help him.”

Hogg changed his usual temperament and gave the two people instructions as if he was making arrangements for his last wishes.

Although Lin Lei was somewhat puzzled, he said with a resolute face: “I, Lin Lei, have no choice but to restore the glory of our ancestors.”

“Don’t worry, foster father. My last name is Baruch too. Lin Lei is my younger brother. If he is in trouble, I will naturally help him.”

Zhou Xian nodded. Although he knew that Hogg had probably come up with the idea of ​​investigating the truth of that year, he did not say it explicitly. He was obviously not strong enough to deal with the Holy See of Light, the mastermind behind the scenes. He could only save Hogg's life in the future, which could be regarded as repaying the other party for raising him for so many years.

Seeing this, Hogg nodded with satisfaction, turned and entered the secret room of the sect hall, and soon came out with a book in his hand.

"Go back and write it down for me. Remember not to tell anyone."

After saying that, Hogg carefully placed the book in Lin Lei’s hand. There was no word on the cover of the book. Lin Lei first glanced at Zhou Xian, then opened it and saw four large characters written in a flamboyant style on the first page.

"Dragon Blood Codex"

"Well, this book records many things related to our Baruch family, including the Dragon Blood Secret Codex, the method of making the Dragon Blood Needle, and some stories of our ancestors, etc."

"Aatrox, although you don't have the blood of a dragonblood warrior and cannot learn the Dragonblood Code, you can memorize it. If something happens in the future, the legend of the dragonblood warrior will not disappear in the long river of history like the other three warrior families."

Hogg was not worried at all that Zhou Xian would spread the Dragon Blood Secret Code. After all, based on his understanding of his adopted son, he would not do such a thing. Even if it was spread, it would be useless. Without the blood of a dragon-blooded warrior, it was impossible to practice the Dragon Blood Secret Code. Even a descendant of the Baruch family like him could not practice without a high enough blood concentration, let alone an outsider. Zhou Xian was not disappointed when he heard this. He did not have any expectations for the Dragon Blood Secret Code. At most, he would use it as a reference, perhaps to improve the progress of the warrior's cultivation.

"Okay, it's getting late, you guys go back and get some rest."

Hogg explained some more things, then waved his hand to let the two men leave. He then looked at the ancestral tablets with a hint of relief in his eyes.

The burden of restoring the glory of the Baruch family has been on him for decades. If it were not for his family and his children, he would have investigated the truth of that year long ago. Now that the family has a successor, he will be able to investigate the truth of that year as soon as the successor grows up.

…………

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, several months had passed. Winter turned to spring, and on Wushan Mountain, the originally bare branches began to grow crisp green buds.

Under an ancient tree, Zhou Xian sat cross-legged, with the elements of heaven and earth continuously flowing into his body. Due to the rapid flow of the elements, strange phenomena appeared in the outside world. The clouds in the sky formed a huge vortex, rotating at a speed visible to the naked eye. This scene made the residents of Wushan Town not far away look up and talk about this strange celestial phenomenon.

Zhou Xian was completely unaware of the disturbances in the outside world, but instead focused on refining the elements of heaven and earth that entered his body, whether they were earth, fire, wind, water, thunder, or light and dark elements. Even some elements of heaven and earth that were so obscure that they were almost unnoticeable were absorbed into his middle dantian and refined into magic power.

The colorful liquid magic power continued to accumulate until it reached a critical point. The liquid magic power began to be continuously compressed and became thicker and thicker. If the magic power was like water before, now it seemed to have turned into mercury, and the density difference was not a little bit.

"Huh, an eighth-level magician. This practice is getting harder and harder. Now I have accumulated enough magic power, but I only know earth magic, which is a bit of a waste."

Zhou Xian let out a breath, stood up, and felt the magic power in his dantian become ten times stronger. He muttered with some dissatisfaction.

It only took him a few months from the beginning of learning magic to becoming a sixth-level magician, but it took him several more months to break through from the sixth-level magician to the eighth-level magician. It took several months to upgrade two levels, which obviously did not meet his expectations.

However, if others knew about it, they would definitely doubt their lives. You know, some ordinary magicians only have the fifth or sixth level of cultivation. It is simply a fantasy to transform from a magic novice to an eighth-level mage in less than a year. It is impossible even if a god-level strong man teaches.

Fortunately, Zhou Xian was just expressing his feelings. Now his magic and warrior skills have reached level eight. He should be able to defeat a general level nine warrior by surprise.

"Ernst College will start classes in a few days. It's time to report there. I hope the magic collected there won't disappoint me."

Zhou Xian looked up at the sky. The clouds in the sky had resumed flowing because of his cessation of cultivation, and were slowly dispersing in all directions.
